Nursing Students!!

Hi I'm a nursing student only 8 months from graduation!! I don't want to be overweight when it comes to trying to teach my patients about being healthy, so he re I am! Only problem is I can't find the time to exercise!! I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle of weight loss because I'm in nursing school. Anyone having the same problems or has HAD? Thanks! :)

    I'm in nursing school and only 7 months from graduating! I find the time to work out 6 days a week. It's hard but I make it happen! Good luck!

    Is there a park or someplace you can walk thats near where you work/school?

    If nothing else walking is something.

    When I'm at the hospital I walk the stairs. I squeeze it in whenever and wherever I can!!

    I am in dental hygiene school with one year left and feel the same way! This semester, I made working out a PRIORITY! I could have done better than I have been, but 12 hour days of class and clinical really made it hard.

    Thanks Candi! Yeah I realize I haven't been making it a priority and have jusr made excuses. I did realize there's a walking track down the road from school so I can just walk there during lunch! Any little bit will help :)
